Count the number of superfluous uses in this post alone. There are only maybe three legitimate uses of the word in this article. Take all the others out and it does not change the sentence.

Sun, 20 Jul 2014 20:20:28 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2269193#comment-3483742No job on Earth guarantees somebody to go out on their own terms. You either retire when required, get fired or retained for your abilities. You can’t dictate if you have you job just because you had some good years. Coughlin has been successful during his tenure and seems to make due with the personnel that the GM brings in, but as soon as he finishes his contract 6-10 and 5-11, the locals are going to ask why was he still employed. If he doesn’t produce what the owners want, they have every right to let him go…and he still gets paid.

Why not just leave on the hot seat?

Coughlin has won more Super Bowls with the Giants than all but 8 franchises have won in their entire history.

He should have the job until he doesn’t want it anymore.

Tom Coughlin represents old school principles in the modern athletic world.

The Giants are a class origination because they exude it, not demand it, beg for it or try to pay for it. Agree – keep this stuff in house, even broad stroke comments on the “game” that can be construed as a preemptive position on the coach down the line. Coughlin is the class of the origination right now. I’m rooting for the guy to lead this vastly changed team back into February. All we need to be thinking about right now.

If Jon Gruden had managed to win a 2nd Super Bowl for Tampa Bay, they would have nominated him for sainthood and renamed the stadium for him.
TC deserves to leave WHEN he is good and ready!

I’m a millionaire NFL coach who has done all I want to do. So what? Fire me. You want someone else to do this, fine! I’ll get my tee-time set up.”

Would Kraft say BB is getting old? John Mara as an owner, is only flying behind his father but cannot and never will be the man who cared about his players, coaches, and and fans like no other.
He would never publicly say something as stupid as this.

Mara may mean it as a threat, but the old man isn’t losing any sleep over it.

Sun, 20 Jul 2014 15:16:04 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2269193#comment-3482993Coughlin’s biggest problem is his loyalty, to both veteran players that couldn’t get the job done and his coordinators who couldn’t change their game plans to suit the personnel they were trotting out there. IMO Gilbride deserves the bulk of the blame. When the offense runs the same plays series in and out behind a line that cannot buy the skill positions enough time to throw, run, or run the right routes, the 3 Nd outs do nothing to help your defense. And that’s on Gilbride.

Sun, 20 Jul 2014 15:10:33 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2269193#comment-3482978This is sad, because Mara is used to mediocrity he doesn’t have an idea of what things would be like if he found the greatest coach and GM you could possibly find. His world would have been completely different if he orchestrated an unbeatable dynasty. If that happened his entire outlook and attitude would be completely different. His vision is very limited because he can’t see the amazing possibilities after having very normalized results over the long-term. It’s all very disappointing to me that he can’t see it, and that unfortunately probably goes the same for every owner.

Bill Cowher did it in Pittsburgh. I think there are a couple coaches in the league right now that can do it too if they wanted. Coughlin has been on the proverbial hot seat for years. Two or three years from now, he’ll still probably be on it.

Sun, 20 Jul 2014 14:48:54 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2269193#comment-3482932It’s easy to say he’s not on the hot seat now, but if his team goes out and lays it’s third consecutive egg of a season I have no doubt that tune will change. It’d be one thing if he was consistently getting to the playoffs but four out of the last five years his team hasn’t qualified for the playoffs. JMO but Tom Coughlin has to at least make the playoffs this year to keep his job.

Sun, 20 Jul 2014 14:38:01 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2269193#comment-3482904Wow. I thought the Maras were cool, but this belies that belief. At least in regards to John Mara.

The Giants ownership should be exceptionally grateful to Coach Coughlin — not disparaging him.

Coughlin slayed some pretty game, and brought multiple pieces of hardware to NYC. Mara has a couple of rings on his fingers to attest to it, and even more than a couple if you count Coughlin’s contributions on the Parcells teams.

Jacksonville ownership once said the biggest mistake they ever made was firing Coach Coughlin. They were right.

My view of this situation is the Giants did have some problems last year, but this particular Mara is not effectively understanding cause and effect and is misplacing blame (and lacking in gratitude and showing due respect).

My team is AFC-based, so this is not biased in any way other than my own assessment. I have a lot of respect for Coach Coughlin.
